ASP.NET 5 templates use a new project structure

The ASP.NET 5 project structure contains a project.json configuration file, and ".kproj" project file. ASP.NET 5 project templates uses a new project layout, creating a project folder under <solutionFolder>\src, and use the global.json file to specify the project reference folder.

Global.json file contains "sources": ["src"] element, indicating the "src" folder as the parent folder of project references. By default, project-to-project reference lookups will use the parent directory, plus the global.json-defined directories. For example, we have the following solution structure and project.json dependency visibility:

he ASP.NET 5 Starter Web template contains the code first migration for Entity Framework 7.0.0-beta.

JsHint: JSHint is a program that flags suspicious usage in programs written in JavaScript. The core project consists of a library itself as well as a CLI program distributed as a Node module.

CoffeeScript is a little language that compiles into JavaScript. Underneath that awkward Java-esque patina, JavaScript has always had a gorgeous heart. CoffeeScript is an attempt to expose the good parts of JavaScript in a simple way.

RequireJS is a JavaScript file and module loader. It is optimized for in-browser use, but it can be used in other JavaScript environments, like Rhino and Node. Using a modular script loader like RequireJS will improve the speed and quality of your code.

John's Sonmez's Interview at InfoQ

http://www.infoq.com/articles/john-sonmez-soft-skills

 The best way to deal with these (WFH)problem is to develop a strict routine that you follow each day.
I treat my workday at home, just like I would at the office. This is the backbone that keeps me focused and on task.
I know specifically when I am going to start work and when I am going to quit. I also am aware of how much work I need to get done each day.
I'd also suggest doing everything possible to minimize distractions. Try to work in an isolated area. Use headphones if you need to and don't let yourself do things like watch TV, play games or raid the fridge.
Finally, set up some kind of social network, either with your team or with friends who work from home or even outside of work. Try to have at least a few times a week where you get some quality human interaction. Utilize video chat when possible and even consider joining local community events to help not feel so isolated.

Richard Branson stresses the need to be a good listener and the importance of breaking down silos. Strong leaders , he tells us must have vision, creativity and ability to influence them to follow and support them in the challenges of moving an organization into uncharted and often highly risky territory.

 Mission statements are hollow and generic.

Hiring a right candidate to important.

Hire a new guy to shake up the things

Fun environment is important to build passion and build relationships.
